ESP32 Dev Module settings:

  1. Select which battery type you will use, along with other optional settings. This is done in the USER_SETTINGS.hfile.
  2. Copy the USER_SECRETS.TEMPLATE.h file to USER_SECRETS.h and update connectivity settings inside this file.
  3. Press Verify and Upload to send the sketch to the board. NOTE: In some cases, the LilyGo must be powered through the main power connector instead of USB-C when performing the initial firmware upload. NOTE: On Mac, the following USB driver may need to be installed: https://github.com/WCHSoftGroup/ch34xser_macos

NOTE: If you see garbled messages on the serial console, change the serial console to match the baud rate to the code, currently 115200.

Copy the software folder to the Arduino folder. Open the Software.ino file with Arduino IDE
